How can I make my mouse epicenter bigger?

I want an Actor to be able to collide with my mouse but outside a set circumference of say about 100 pixels, not just the main tiny contact point of its X and Y location.

The Mac version of Creator has a Numeric Expression as part of the rule condition but I'm not sure if the PC version does. If not, you'll need to create an integer attribute (e.g. self.Hundred) and give it a value of 100. Then set up your rule to say If attribute self.Hundred ≥ magnitude( self.Position.X - game.Mouse.Position.X , self.Position.Y - game.Mouse.Position.Y ) then _______.

How does an actor collide with your mouse? Do you mean that you want the actor's rules to trigger when the mouse position is within 100 pixels of the actor? If so, you can use the magnitude() function which returns the distance between two points.

magnitude( self.Position.X - game.Mouse.Position.X , self.Position.Y - game.Mouse.Position.Y ) will give you the distance from the actor's center to the mouse position.

How can I state that to have 100 pixels?

Are you using PC or Mac Creator?
